"Mad Woman" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eighth studio album, Folklore (2020). She wrote the track with its producer, Aaron Dessner. "Mad Woman" is a sentimental ballad that incorporates soft piano, strings, and guitar licks. Inspired by Swift's 2019 masters dispute with the businessman Scooter Braun, the lyrics address gender double standards, gaslighting, sexism, internalized misogyny, and the taboo associated with women's anger. Music critics generally appreciated "Mad Woman" for its concept and composition. Commercially, it reached the national charts of Australia, Canada, Portugal, Singapore, and the United States, and received a platinum certification in Australia, gold certifications in Brazil and New Zealand, and a silver certification in the United Kingdom. Swift recorded a stripped-down rendition of "Mad Woman" as part of the documentary film Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions and its live album in 2020, and performed it on piano twice at her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
